Consular Waivers

When undocumented immigrants who did not lawfully enter the United States marry U.S. citizens, they can apply for their green cards (permanent residency). But, normally, they have to leave the United States and apply for residency through a U.S. consulate. This can cause problems when applicants have stayed in the U.S. for more than one year prior to returning to their countries of origin. Criminal or immigration violations can also cause problems, and can result in findings of inadmissibility by the U.S. Government.

In many of these instances, waivers of inadmissibility exist that can overcome admissibility hurdles. These waivers are typically filed with the particular U.S. consulate that schedules the interview and/or issues the finding of inadmissibility.

If you are considering leaving the country in order to apply for your green card, working with an attorney to identify all of the hazards, and all of the potential solutions, is of the utmost importance. A waiver of inadmissibility may be necessary in your case, and skilled preparation of the waiver is often much more important than filing the petition or the application. We can help.
